The Arizona Department of Transportation wishes to survey state residents to determine what proportion of the population would l

ike to increase statewide highway speed to 75 from 65 mph. At least how many residents do they need to survey if they want to be at least 99% confident that the sample proportion is within 0.07 of the true proportion?

Answer: 339

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the prior estimate of population proportion is unknown , then we take p= 0.5

Given : Margin of error : E=0.07

Critical value for 99% confidence interval : z_{\alpha/2}=2.576

Formula for sample size :-

n=0.5(1-0.5)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2\\\\=0.25(\dfrac{2.576}{0.07})^2\\\\=338.56\approx339

Hence, the minimum sample size required = 339

i.e. they need to survey 339 residents.

1) There are 80 grams of salt in a 32% solution. Find the weight of the solution
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Weight of the solution = 250 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Consider the weight of solution as x grams.

32 % solution = 80 grams salt

32% of x = 80

(32/100)*x = 80

Solving for x:

x  = (80*100) / 32

x = 250 grams

How many gallons, quarts, and pints are in 72 cups (not all together)
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

72 cups=4.5 gallons

72 cups=18 quarts

72 cups=36 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many pints are in 72 cups you have to divide the volume value by 2. To find out how many quarts are in 72 cups you have to divide the volume value by 4. To find out how many gallons are in 72 cups you have to  divide the volume value by 16.

Hope this helped for you!

A teacher was interested in finding out whether a special study program would increase the scores of students on a national exam
bija089 [108]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Going by the first attached image below we reject H_o against  H_1 if obs.T > t_{\alpha /2;n-1}

here obs.T=1.879

\therefore obs.T \ngtr 2.447=t_{0.025;6}

we accept H_o:\mu _{1}=\mu_{2} at 5% level of significance.

i.e there is no sufficient evidence to indicate that the special study program is more effective at 5% level of significance.

1.

this problem is simillar to the previous one except the alternative hypothesis.

Let X_i's denote the bonuses given by female managers and Y_i's denote the bonuses given by male managers.

we assume that X_i \sim N(\mu _{1},\sigma _{1}^{2}) Y_i \sim N(\mu _{2},\sigma _{2}^{2}) independently

We want to test H_0:\mu_{1}=\mu_{2} vs H_1:\mu_{1}\neq \mu_{2}

define D_i=X_i-Y_i , i=1(1)8

now D_i\sim N(\mu _{1}-\mu _{2}=\mu _{D},\sigma _{1}^{2}+\sigma _{2}^{2}=\sigma _{D}^{2}) , i=1(1)8

the hypothesis becomes

H_0:\mu_{D}=0 vs H_1:\mu_{D}\neq 0

in the third attached image, we use the same test statistic as before

i.e at 5% level of significance there is not enough evidence to indicate a difference in average bonuses .

A scalene triangle has symmetry with respect to a line containing an altitude of the triangle.. . true or false?
zhenek [66]
The answer to this statement is FALSE. A Scalene triangle is a triangle with no equal side lengths, so a line that contains the altitude of the traingle divides the triangle into two triangles with different sizes, so it has no symmetry.
